Evaluation and Assessment

Three different technology tools that I came in contact with while studying this module are, Quizlet, Quia, and Actively Learn. These are great technology tools that can help teachers with evaluation and assessment for the students in their classroom.
Quizlet is a mobile web-based study application that allows students to study information via learning tools and games. I can implement this into the classroom by creating ways for students to study or help other classmates study, using this website. One challenge that may be faced when using this technology tool would be students trying to cheat and look up answers during a test.
Quia provides templates for creating 16 types of online activities using your own content a complete online testing system with automatic grading, immediate feedback, and detailed reporting, online surveys for gathering student and teacher feedback, class Web page creator to share Quia activities and class announcements with students and parents, access to millions of shared activities and quizzes in over 300 categories. I can implement this website into the instruction in the classroom by using this technology tool to create different study tools and assessments online. One problem that may arise when using this technology tool in the classroom would be students getting caught up playing games and doing the activities. This might distract them from their actual assignments or assessments. 
The last technology tool I want to talk about is Actively Learn. It makes it possible to define words in a text. It lets you hear the text aloud and it translates it. When reading independently through Actively Learn, students can choose from over 3,000 articles then rate or review material. Then you can take a comprehension quiz. I can implement this into the classroom by using it as a literacy source when I need students to read a certain text. The only problem that may be faced when using this technology tool would be students looking up inappropriate articles for their age.
